My First Digital Portrait

As some of you read in my ‘Introduction time’ post, I’m a keen artist and I love to explore new skills/techniques. Now, I’m not really one to post my work, however, some of you suggested that I post my art on the forums. I’ve seen so many amazing artists in this community already and I think this is a great way to keep motivated when it comes to producing pieces.

This piece is the first portrait where I really took the time completing something to a standard I am proud of when it comes to drawing digitally. (I usually only draw/paint on paper so this type of work is something that really took me out of my comfort zone!)

As someone who does a lot of digital painting, this is amazing for your first digital portrait. I love the eyes and the different colors in the hair. I could go on for a while about it, but its great man! Its always good to step out of your comfort zone if were talking about art!

Ah! Thank you so much - it’s great to get some feedback from someone who has experience in this kind of thing. I definitely have a way to go with practice but I’m motivated to keep improving :D

I don't really know how to do much digital painting but I am hoping to learn that in the future.

Thank you :) I encourage you to give it a go! Although it was a little hard for me to get used using my software at first, I found it really fun. I hope you have fun on your digital journey too, good luck :D

Hey!
Your portrait is absolutely beautiful!! I'm really not an artist, but I needed to pop on to let you know how amazing your work is. I can't believe this is your first go at digital portraits, it definitely doesn't show. How long did it take you to complete? I wish I was good at art, but every time I try I feel like I don't have the skills for it. You have a real talent here, I can't wait to see your future work!
I hope you're doing well, and staying safe!

Thank you so much for your kind words - they really encourage me! The portrait took around three or four afternoons/evenings (this included trying to get used to the software). I was very slow pace at first but I got into the swing of things eventually!

I’ve always believed that art can be an escape for anyone and personally think that as long as you’re having fun, it doesn’t matter the level of ‘skills’ you have. I definitely encourage you to keep trying if you’re interested in the subject (practice makes perfect after all)

I also hope you’re staying safe in these times and that you are doing well. Have a great weekend :D

I have a HUGE respect for digital artists, I actually do a lot of traditional art and digital art is a whole different level of hard.
I am super impressed that this is your first digital piece of art, you have a lot of potential! I can't want to see more.

Woah this is amazing! I'm definitely looking to try more realistic art in general, but my art style both traditionally and digitally are both very stylized haha. So glad you shared with us! ^-^

I’d love to try more stylised work but I’ve never seem to find my style with it. I don’t think I have a good enough imagination something like that! I personally love how everyone’s art is different and I’ve seen so many unique (and very talented) artist on the forum that I was inspired to also share my work and involve myself in the community. I’m so glad you liked it :D Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

All my life I’ve painted traditionally and I’ve become so comfortable with it. Digital art was something I picked up as a way to challenge myself and I can totally agree with you - I now carry massive respect for those who create pieces digitally.

It makes me so happy to hear you think I have potential in this sort of thing and it encourages me to practice more in order to improve! Thank you so much :D

This is my first time asking for buffs and nerfs to anything. (Note that all of this is my opinion and I haven't played a lot of SSM for most of these suggestions to be agreeable. Especially since I don't have Sir. Sheep and Villager)But without further ado, here are some needed Nerfs/Buffs for SSM kits. (Also note that not all…

I think it's legal to use smash against someone using skelly horse or creeper, especially if they're camping. These people will be acting like idiots for the whole game and I will be so annoyed at them that I actually use smash on them even though I usually don't. They have no right to complain because they were already ruining the game.
Also people who are…

I agree with this, and I feel that enderman is kind of underrated. Not many people use it but the ones I do see using it are super powerful with it and it's really annoying to fight when it can drain half of my life in two hits. And I don't even use chicken. I use squid. So yeah I do think some things should be nerfed. For starters, I think that the melee damage should be reduced and…

Hey!
I actually made a thread on this awhile ago that I will link here.
The answers I had gotten seemed to tell me it was a bug and it might be the version of Minecraft you play Mineplex on (Java Platforms). If you wanna submit a bug report, you can do so here. If you choose to submit a bug report, I would recommend reading over the…

Heres my strat.
Strategy 1: get emerald beacons or tell your team to do that. Once you have enough resources attack other bases. Best done with teamate.
Strat 2(for pvp gods): Get pickaxe, sword and wool and rush to other teams and kill them all. Them get emeralds and kill the other teams.…

Hey!
I personally don't think this idea is neccessary.
As @SpyNinja__ mentioned, NANO game's "quick" already has a lot of Bawk Bawk's games implemented, I also think that "quick" is way too similar to Bawk Bawk. I think adding Bawk Bawk games would also be too long for a NANO game. The purpose of NANO games is to be quick/short mini-games…

Hey!
I personally do think as of right now, the Skelton Kit does need adjustments because it is very OP at the moment. However, I don't think the Bone Rush is the problem, I think it's the amount of cool down time it has like @Pizzazilla mentioned. I think if the amount of cool down time was increased, this kit wouldn't be so OP because players wouldn't…

Players already have to manually type which community they chat to using /com chat {com}. On top of that, it sends you a confirmation message after entering the command that reads something like “Now chatting in StaffRequest!” I don’t think a feature like this is necessary, besides, it’s a minor and infrequent mistake to begin with.…

Yo Zeeta!
I love the way you explained how this can work! I do think it would be cool to have some things you can play while waiting to get pulled into a game. I know how Overwatch has something similar to this so I’m if implemented correctly, it would be great to have! Anyways, I give this a +1, thanks for the idea!Gladiators:
So for your first game, I think it would be cool.…

Yo!
Thanks for coming up with an idea and presenting it here on the forums. Unfortunately, we do not currently plan on giving out rewards for reporting players.

I like it. I'm feeling a kinda modernish rustic vibe from it. I really like the nether brick on the too. Also, what sort of wood are you using for the supports? it fits really nicely with the grey! :D Good buildBear-…
